Parenting can be hard but being a single parent can be really, really hard. Not having someone to share the duties with is exhausting. There’s often not enough hours in the day to get everything you need to do done. And when you’re sick that gets even harder.

Every where you look there’s relationship advice for everyone, being shouted from every medium you can imagine. The internet, television talk shows, books, magazines even Buddist podcasts will sometimes broach the subject. So much of this advice stems on communication.

Instead she is right now climbing on my shoulders. She came in the office saying, “I will help you write.”

Me, being a pushover mommy, agreed. Hey, I thought, I’ll let her sit on my lap and show her how I write a blog. I’ll let her pick the pictures. Proud & Over Achiever mommy think, It’s even a learning moment.

Yeah, right.
